Insulators
for antenna
Transceiver
unit
Check that the antenna is properly spanned
and separated sufficiently from metallic
structures.
Check for salt water deposits on insulators.
Check that connection at the lead-in insulator is tight and rust-free.
• Check ground connection.
• Check connection at signal cable, coaxial
cable, control cable, power cable and external equipment (including navigator).
• Confirm that there are no objects on the
top of the transceiver unit.
• Remove dust from transceiver unit with
soft cloth.
Note: Do not use chemical cleaners to
clean the transceiver unit; they can remove
paint or markings and deform the equipment.
If necessary, re-span antenna.
Replace damaged insulator(s). Remove
salt water deposits. Clean with fresh
water, then dry. Remove rust, then
tighten bolts and lock nuts. Cover metallic surface with sealing compound.
• Tighten the loosened connections;
remove foreign materials from connectors.
• Remove any objects.
• Wipe the LCD carefully to prevent
scratching, using tissue paper and an
LCD cleaner. To remove dirt or salt
deposits, use an LCD cleaner, wiping
slowly with tissue paper so as to dissolve the dirt or salt. Change paper
frequently so the salt or dirt does not
scratch the LCD.
